they went after obama's religion. has anyone even looked up mormon beliefs? i don't believe in the way romney believes. host: did you vote for obama in 2008? caller: i did, because i did not like sarah palin. host: were you an enthusiastic voter in 2008? caller: john kerry and it george bush, i cannot vote for george bush again, so i did not vote that year. in 2008 i quit watching fox news and started watching c-span and other channels. i realized i did not like to be lied to. people need to get off fox news and watch other channels and compare everything else before they take fox news at its word. host: so you don't want fox news anymore. what other channels do you watch? caller: i watch cnn, bbc, my local news, c-span, all the debates. people need to watch the debates on c-span, because you would be surprised how much you will learn on how they vote and what they stand for. they will get up there and debate and then turnaround can tell a different story. host: what do you do? caller: i'm a housewife and a grandmother. host: let's go to an undecided voter, d

i know them inside and out and that mormon religion is nothing short of a cult. if you did your research and you went into a little deeper, you would see where -- what mr. romney is all about. host: is his fate the legitimate issue? guest: far be it for me to say it is legitimate. i tend to think almost everything is legitimate. i am struck by how little role his fate seems to have played in this race. i have not seen any poll that shows a significant number of voters would not vote for him because of his fate. more monism is pretty unpopular. -- mormonism is pretty unpopular. there was a best-seller all about being mohrmann. some of them are still voting for romney. it seems in concert with a long american tradition of people practicing any faith to they want and not being judged to partially. we elected a guy whose name was husein right after 9/11. that is a long tradition of low- level tolerance in this country. host: we go now to david zuniga at hofstra university. caller: we're less than 12 hours away from our second presidential debate. why comes to policy

the best majority of religions around the world teach that sex outside of marriage is wrong and immoral. it is a widely shared value. while we do know from the data we have is that very few people do under this notion. 98% of people who are married will say they did have sex before marriage. we have tension between teaching and actual behavior. the notion of taking sex seriously, thinking about the larger impact, obviously what it means for children, who you get pregnant with under what circumstances and when, those are important parts of this conversation. one of the reasons these rates have gone down and there are so many, but one it is there has been conversations about sex having meaning, consequences. think about it. think about that in your faith traditions and in terms of what it means for children. i think those issues have become more part of the public conversation. host: where do federally-funded abstinence programs fit in? guest: there has been some funding for abstinence programs and more comprehensive ones. the way our organization and i think a lot of people think about i

the reason is religion. no one in the south or midwest that are born-again christians are going to vote for a mormon. it is a fact that the national media has missed. and i think it is a matter of not being so conservative, is a matter of not being christian enough in the south. you have a fine program, by the way. thank you. host: before you go, i want to show you and poll. faith shrinks as a factor. caller: i think it's much more than that. no one will admit to it being religious, but there's a lot of that, i believe. all you have to do is look at the amount of literature -- anti-mormon literature that has been distributed in the south and midwest to born-again christians. you would be surprised at the venom that exists. host: paula, rick santorum supporter in mineral wells, texas. what do you think about last night's primaries? caller: i think romney [unintelligible] host: what's that? .aller: i don't trust romney [inaudible] .aybe i don't like them either santorum would be a better candidate. host: do yo

romney is counting his business experience, but the presidency involves a cross- section of business, religion, science, diplomacy, charity. in a corporation, you're basically dealing with numbers. in the presidency, you're dealing with numbers, and people's lives -- welfare programs, setting people to war. -- sending people to work. i do not think mitt romney has it. obama has been there. he is been a senator. he has a wider world view, growing up in other places. he has experienced another world view. he has been in the presidency for four years. host: let me back that up from twitter, saying do ceo's not have the skill sets to adapt to their environment, including a change in management style as they climb the ladder? guest: i think that is true, but the caller makes an excellent point in that there is really no preparation for the presidency that is completely applicable. it is such a unique job. that is why former president stick together in the world's most exclusive club. you could argue that the best indication you have is our president has performed, and certainly president obama dinh

i do not think that romney's religion is a central problem. in 2008, the american electorate showed they would vote for people who were unconventional. i think the romney problem stems from inability to connect and understand people. the interview that did not get a lot of attention but what was interesting was when he was hobbies.out his wife's cop her horse is in the land. he said he did not even know what day it was at. the normal voter looks for how a husband answers. that is the problem he has. he does not relate to people as a person or a human. he relates to people in getting the job done. guest: if you ask a key question, who will do a better job? in every poll, mitt romney leads by double digits. so all those components lead to a close race. this is exactly what we're talking about here which is everyone is going to get wrapped up in the day to day and it's going to be some good brace for barack obama, some good gays for mitt romney but i believe the last two weeks of the election, the race will be where it is today, a dead heat. >> e
